Four teens wrongfully convicted in Chicago without hard evidence! Coming into this case the police didn't have full evidence that this was there DNA. The teens arrested and held accountable were Omar Saunders, Marcellius Bradford, Larry Ollins, and his cousin, Calvin. All of these men were of African descent from a Black Neighborhood.. In this case many techniques were used to get these men to testify to the rape and murder of Lori Roscetti a medical school student. During trials the police would put the teens against each other. In the trials the prosecutor said hat whoever committed the crime wasn't him which helped the teens confess against each other in a false form.
The police played games with these teens. They would question them for hours about something they didn't do, And than one kid finally said I want to go hoe. The police said If you want to go home your going to have to fill out this form. When he filled out this form it was a basic signed piece of evidence about the rape that said that they were guilty. The were than arrested and kept for future questioning and later prison.
This case makes me feel a lot of anger. It makes me wonder if the entire US justice system is a hoke. Maybe the police working trhis case were so involved that they truly believe it was these four teens. I believe this was power associated accusations. The police kept accusing these men even though they didn't do it. I still believe in US law enforcement but I believe the power these men had really set them over the edge when it came to throwing these men in prison for a falsely accused crime. The only problem I can find with the law enforcement is the power behind it.
